Join us in enjoying the Japanese tradition of having a picnic under the beautiful blossoming trees during spring! Everyone is welcome, including friends and family of JET alumni.

The picnic will be in the arboretum, a large 26 hector park, located between Prince of Wales Drive and the Rideau Canal, with a lot of open space. It has over 1,700 of different kinds of shrubs and trees from all over the world – including the famous Japanese cherry blossom trees! We will meet at the Carleton University campus at Dunton Tower and then walk over to the Hanami Picnic area.

This is a bring-your-own-food/drinks event, but we are also taking orders for Sushi Fresh!

Come join us for a fun afternoon of games, food and drink. Last year's event was a blast and we're hoping to have just as much fun this year. Don't worry if you don't know any games, as the staff are great at explaining everything. Just show up at 3pm at 14 Waller Street and head upstairs.

You can also order food and drinks. Check out the The Loft website (http://www.theloftlounge.ca/) to see their menu and to get an idea of the games available (basically everything)

This event is open to everyone, please RSVP to give us an idea of numbers: events@jetaaottawa.ca
